I didn't realize you have had to forgo standing as a Catholic. Last I knew, you still found refuge and comfort in certain aspects of Catholicism.
Christmas doesn't have to be about religion; it doesn't have any religious meaning for me, anymore, but the holiday remains meaningful. In fact, now it feels more meaningful to me, now that I don't have to try to incorporate religious observances that held little personal meaning to me on top of a holiday that, in my heart, has always been about family and blessing others.
